Can you believe that today is the last day of February? Wow where did that month go, it's just flew by but it's bring us one day closer to Spring. I don't know about you but I'm ready for warmer weather and lots of sunshine!!

My card today was inspired by one that I saw on Mary Fish's blog. I had this paper sitting on my desk and was looking for some inspiration and saw this fun card and knew that I had to CASE it. Thanks Mary for the inspiration!!

Did you know that Bright colours and geometrical shapes are very trendy? They make me think of summer and that can only put a smile on your face these days!!

This Saturday March 1, 10 other Stampin' Up! Demonstrator's and I are having a giant Stamp and Scrapbooking Sale. We have been purging and cleaning and we can't wait to give our favourite retire products to new homes.

This month at club we focused on making some Sympathy cards. I find these cards hard to make and it's easier to have on hand for when you need them. I was searching for some inspiration and I came across this card on Pinterest. I really liked it so much that I decided to CASE It.

I love how we used the By the Tide stamp set to create this beautiful card!!

Stampin' Up! Supplies:

Stamp: By the Tide and Love and Sympathy

Ink: Midnight Muse, and Crumb Cake

Card Stock: Crumb Cake, Midnight Muse and Very Vanilla

Accessories: Twine, and Versamark Ink

It's hard to tell from the picture, but I used the saying image and versamark ink and stamp it 4 times along the bottom of the card. Then we ripped the Very Vanilla piece of card stock so you could see the saying underneath it!!

Just like 35 million other Canadian's, we are watching the Gold Medal game against Sweden. As I type this up we are winning 3 to 0 with 7 minutes left of the 3rd period! Such a proud moment to be a Canada! Go Canada Go!!

I have been working on the pile of kits on my desk and finally finished up the cards from the Everyday Occasions Card Kit. The neat thing about these kits is that you get all the supplies you need to make 20 all Occasions cards that you can give to family and friends!!

Want to see all the supplies you get in the Everyday Kit, you can view it below or by clicking here.

Must go we are only minutes away from winning GOLD and I need to be ready to celebrate!!

I still have a few hours to say that! LOL It's been a busy few night with clubs and I'm finally getting to my computer to post on my blog. This month I focus on Sympathy cards as I find these are hard to make and it's best to have them on hand.

I saw a similar card on Pinterest created by Lyssa but it was for a birthday card. So I switched up the greeting to turn it into a Thinking of you card. Thanks for the inspiration Lyssa!!

I had just purchased the new "Hardwood" stamp set and it was sitting on my desk waiting to be ink up. I have to say I love the wood look for the background with the trees. I stamped my image with Soft Suede on to the Pool Party card stock.

Stampin' Up! Supplies:

Stamp: Hardwood, Sweet Essentials, and Lovely as a Tree

Ink: Soft Suede and Soft Sky

Card Stock: Pool Party, Soft Suede and Very Vanilla

Accessories: Sponge Daubers

Ink: Crisp Canteloupe

Card Stock: Pool Party, Crisp Cantaloupe, and Whisper White

I love Wednesday's as its the middle of the week and it's also Challenge day! I'm excited to share my colour challenge today with you that was inspired by my blog design. I decided to use the colours of Tangerine Tango, Very Vanilla and Baked Brown Sugar which is right from the Retro Fresh Designer Series Paper.

I have seen tons of cards online using the Scallop Tag Topper punch and decided it was time to learn how to make one. So I watch a few different video's and figure it was time to try it out. I have to say I love this new technique for creating unique cards!!
